Worst case, you will have to pay the rent for the last two months.
You won't lose your security deposit though. As long as the rent is paid and there are no damages, the landlord has no grounds to keep your deposit.

all these people are lying...you can't get sued, you can't have your credit rating trashed, and you can't have your security deposit forfeited. worst case scenario in your instance, would be that you'd still be on the hook for the final 2 months rent when they would normally be due. not all at once
in almost all states a standard housing lease provides you some protection if you need to break the lease
tell your landlord you will have to move out 2 months early, from this point he is expected to try "reasonably" to fill the vacancy, when he does your lease is considered terminated and he must give you back your security deposit within 30 days less any damages
until he finds a new tenant, you will be liable for the rent as provided in the lease. you will almost undoubtably have to pay the rent for the fifth month, but if its a fairly busy complex, or if anyone else moves in, you should not be liable for the sixth month rent. if he can't find a new renter, you may have to pay the sixth month's rent, although like i said he is legally expected to try and fill the vacancy
your security deposit in most states CAN NOT be taken away unless you refuse to pay rent, just moving out early is not a legitimate reason to seize your deposit

Worst case scenario is that you will lose your security deposit, you will end up owing your last two months rent, and you may get listed as a dead beat tennant by your landlord for any future housing recommendations.

You would forfit any deposits.
Breaking a lease is tricky, though. You never know unless you read what it says. You might want to read what you signed.

You have to keep paying the rent unless you can sublet. If you don't pay it, they'll keep your deposit and give you a negative rating on your credit history.

worse case........ you don't get your security deposit back and you pay the last 2 months anyway, whether your there or not.

you wouldn't get your security deposit back or your last months rent. Is it really worth it?
